Paying For Customer Service? I Don't Think So!!

I'm fed up with these greedy companies that charge to speak to customer service! 

When I had an account with Wells Fargo I remember that they only gave you three free customer service calls per month and then charged 25 cents for every call after that.  And recently I acquired a Western Union prepaid Mastercard... They charge $1 for every customer service call you make!  It's insane!! 

Shep Hyken, at Customer Service and More, tells about a recent experience:

"...This person told us they would be happy to make the change and that we would be charged a $25 "customer service charge." I would have been okay with paying for it had they called it something else, like a "change fee." But what they called it was a "customer service charge..." 

$25!!!  Are you kidding me??  Is this some way that companies are trying to deter us from calling customer service? 

What's the world coming to?
